Question 8 • RMA FL-2001310-Earth/Space Science Semester 2

How do waterfalls form?

Answer
A
A meander gets cut off.
B
Sediment builds up.
C
Soft rock erodes.
D
Flat areas flood.

Explanation

Waterfalls often form where a layer of softer rock lies beneath harder rock. The softer rock erodes more quickly, leaving the harder rock overhanging until it collapses and the waterfall retreats upstream. So the correct choice is “Soft rock erodes.”
